I have a National Geographic book about expeditions that sat on my
shelf for several years before I finally got around to reading it a
couple of months ago.
There's a wonderful photo in there of a group of four explorers out the
Central African Republic in the 1950s, sitting at their table next to
the Barya River having lunch. They even had a tablecloth and two
bottles of Gordons Gin.
I guess if you're going light you may be able to get by with just one
bottle of gin...
I would love to travel like Burton, Stanley, Speke et al, but
unfortunately
I don't have the money for it. This looks ideal:

I particularly like the wooden things in his riding boots to make sure
they
keep their shape. Why aren't they ever included on packing lists?
My first thought was they were there to keep little critters out.
When I'ver backpacked I tried to mindful of the things that could get into
my empty boots - spuders scorpions etc.
